Chapter 11: Plans
--Wakanda--
Steve helped Wanda up but she chose to lay down on the grass. Quill, Bucky and Logan were helping the others up as they made Ronin surrender.
"You really didn't know?" Wanda asked as she groaned when she sat down.
"I thought you used your powers to stop it from happening." Steve chuckled as he crouched and looked around.
"I won't do abortion, Steve..:" Wanda sighed, "That's not what we do."
Pietro then got out of the ship and was confused on what is going on. He just woke up like the rest of the Avengers and Fantastic Four. He walked up to Steve and gave him a pat on his back.
"Well, looks like you're going to be a father." Pietro smiled when Steve looked at him.
"I know you didn't want this to happen and I'm sorry if you didn't want it." Steve said
"It's alright," Pietro looked at Wanda's belly, "I always wanted a niece."
"It's a girl? How did you know it so quickly?"
"Mr. Richards is quite the doctor." Wanda laughed
They all stood up and started walking towards Wakanda. They all walked slowly after the wounds they suffered against Ronin. While Steve was helping Wanda walk, Natasha walked over to him.
"You really like going rogue, don't you Rogers?" Natasha said as they approached the shield of Wakanda.
"I didn't want to become the leader of the Avengers because it's hard." Steve said as Sam was walking to them.
"Does that mean I can still be Captain America." Sam asked in excitement.
"Of course you can, Sam." Steve thought of a joke, "But I'll always be the better Captain America."
Sam scoffed, "I'm still Captain America though."
They continued to walk until they reached the hotel where Bucky, Logan, Steve and the Guardians of the Galaxy are staying. They walks through the beautiful fields and through the shield of Wakanda. They passed through the first line of defense, where M'Baku was staying. Once they reached the hotel, T'Challa and Okoye were waiting for them in the entrance.
"Welcome, Avengers and Fantastic Four. It is a pleasure for all of you to stay here." Okoye welcomed them into the hotel.
"It's ok, Okoye." T'Challa said as he walked to Carol. "It is nice meeting you, Captain Marvel."
"You can call me Carol. Thank you for having us here, your Highness." Carol said
"No need to say highness. T'Challa is good enough for me."
Everyone settled in their rooms until Pietro and Wanda was looking for their rooms. Gamora and Quill got this own rooms, all of the Avengers were spread out sharing a room with three people and the Fantastic Four stayed in one room.
"Hey Steve, let Wanda stay in your room." Pietro asked while Wanda was behind him.
"Sure." Steve answered as he opened his door. Wanda entered the room with her head bowed down and Pietro walked over to him. "What is it."
"I'll sleep with Bucky. Just..." Pietro hesitated, "just take care of her for me please?"
"I can handle it," Steve placed his hand on his shoulder and rubbed it, "Don't worry about it."
When Steve entered the room, Wanda was fixing his and her stuff. He had to admit that his room was a mess and was embarrassing for him. There were clothes everywhere. For the past few nights, he would tend to just strip himself and sleep with no clothes on. But Wanda was there now and it put a stop to it. Steve wanted to apologize to Wanda but she stopped him.
"You don't need to apologize." Wanda placed a shirt in its proper place and looked at Steve, "Sorry, for reading your mind."
"It's ok. I don't clean up well." Steve sat on the bed and watched her clean up. She had always been cleaning up in the old Avengers facility while everyone else was doing their own thing. He snapped out of it and asked her, "How did you know you had a baby?"
"I was getting fat," She chuckled when she thought about it, "I knew I had a baby because I started feeling kicks a month ago."
"Were there things that I missed while I was gone?"
"Nothing, necessarily. Just a few birthdays and battles." Wanda sighed when she looked at Steve, "I just really missed you."
Steve felt sadness after that. The next thing was silence, both of them couldn't say anything. When Wanda was almost finished cleaning up, Steve fell asleep. Wanda looked at him while he slept, so peaceful. She then slept as well right beside him.
--The next morning--
Everyone gathered in the laboratory of Shuri. Everyone except for Gamora and Quill. On front of them were Strange, T'Challa and Reed. It looked like none of them slept. Everyone was well rested, especially the Guardians.
"So these Outriders are being a pain in the ass and we need to find out where they came from." Reed explained
"I got an idea." Rocket raised his hands and walked up to the front, "On our way here, we met a Celestial. A living being that is able to destroy planets easily. It beat us good and Adam was injured." Rocket pointed at Adam, "It must be the Creator."
"First of all, you're a raccoon? Am I correct?" Reed asked
"I hate being a raccoon." Rocket muttered as he returned to Groot.
"The Creator has us in his sights. So instead of waiting for him, let's bring the battle to him. Who wants to participate us in finding him and kicking his ass." Nova asked
Carol and the Guardians all stepped up and walked to Nova. Nobody else stood with them, even Steve.
"This is plan A. Reed, T'Challa." Nova said and took a glance at both of them, "You have plan B."
Suddenly Gamora and Quill entered the room. Everyone was looking at them and Gamora and Quill ignored them. They both went behind Steve.
"One hell of a night, wasn't it?" Steve chuckled
"She didn't want to sleep early." Quill shrugged off the looks of the others, "I personally didn't want to go here."
"But it would be embarrassing if we had continued what we were doing last night." A frustrated Gamora said
Nova explained the plan to Quill and Gamora and they were all set to go to space. After a few moments, the Guardians along with Carol all went to the Milano and went to space. T'Challa and Reed were left to think of a plan.
"So they left us with plan B, huh?" Strange asked as he got on front of them.
"What if we are underestimating the power of this... celestial? What if it is more powerful than anything we have ever faced?" Reed explained
"Even Thanos?" Wanda brought Thanos up because he killed so many.
"Yes..." Reed sat on one of the chairs, "Even Thanos."
"Then we have to have an ally who is strong than any of us and could give the Creator a good fight." Thor told everyone
"So we're counting Carol out of this one? One of the strongest heroes of all time?" Steve asked
"She almost died, fighting Thanos and we're going to expect that she could fight the Creator? No, Steve. You're not putting your head into it." Strange answered
"And you're underestimating Carol." Steve slammed his hands into the table.
"Hold on! Hold on!" T'Challa called everyone after so many distinct chattering. "I can not allow a battle here in Wakanda. Especially not in it."
"Then what is your idea, your Highness. All ears are on you." Reed said
